Limitations of ICT

Limitation of modern technologies

1) Virtual Reality Headsets
- Designed with large amounts of wires etc. - takes away the realism and is a trip hazard.
- Limited field of view - low resolution - visually unconvincing: could mean the technology is not fit for purpose.
- natural effects are not present in the 'virtual reality world' - takes away the realism: means the technology may not be fit for all purposes, where a realistic environment needs to be created.
- Virtual Reality can make users feel sick due latency in motion tracking and cue conflicts in visual displays

To over come these limitations developments in improving the graphics and resolution will help to improve realism, helping to make the technology fit for purpose.

2) 3D Printing
- To slow to create products to be fit for purpose in the manufacturing process
- Can not make products simultaneously, meaning the 3D printer would not be cost effective or quick enough for mass production.
- Cost is high


Explain three limitations, for a candidate, of using a computer to answer exam questions. 
1. Computer may fail, fore example there could be a power outage and the computer would shut down whilst working, which may mean that work is lost and exam needs to be retaken.,

3. Their are health concerns/issues with using computer for a long period of time, such as RSI. ]
